First Quarter

The opening quarter saw the Pacers come out strong, establishing an early lead by scoring 35 points compared to the Celtics' 26.

However, Boston managed to keep pace thanks to contributions from Derrick White and Jaylen Brown.

In the second quarter, both teams struggled offensively, but it was Boston who faced more challenges as they only managed to add 17 points. The Green Machine's defense tightened up significantly during this period, limiting Indiana to just 26 points. Despite trailing at halftime, Boston showed signs of life with key defensive plays that set them up for a comeback.

Third Quarter

Coming into the third quarter revitalized, Boston turned up their intensity on both ends of the court. Jaylen Brown led by example with his scoring ability and defensive efforts while Payton Pritchard provided crucial assists that helped swing momentum in favor of the C's. The home team scored an impressive 31 points during this period while holding Indiana to just 21.

Fourth Quarter
